I'm in a rural area the nearest Jo-Anne's is an hour and a half away. The two LQS that were within 20 miles of me both closed in the last six months, and 2 of the others that were on my places to visit when I went to the city also recently closed. That said I do have an "ace in the whole" pharmacy/variety store about 40 miles away. They used to have just 1 aisle of flat fold fabric on shelves, as fabric has gotten harder to buy locally they keep expanding the fabric dept. I would guess that its now somewhere between 1/4 to 1/3 of the stores square footage. Within the last year they have started transitioning to bolts instead of flat fold on the shelves, which alows even more fabric. It is high quality fabric. As I understand it they order the type they need (civil war, children's novelty, batik, etc.) but don't get to select the lines, so when they open the shipments it's a surprise. If you see something you like you buy it then, because most likely they won't be able to get it again. Some of the fabric is what you see in the ads in current quilt magazines some is older lines, almost all of it is quilting cottons. Here's the part that might make you jealous, they have flat pricing. They charge $5.89 a yard, new arrivals are $6.89, batiks are $7.99, kona solids used to be higher but now they are $5.89 also, the wide backing fabric is priced like traditional stores you check the bolt for price, they run between $9.99 - $16.99 a yard. When you check out if you show them your quilt quilds membership card you get a 10% discount.
